This Chic-a bag is clear vinyl, so you can see which project you've got. The drawstring top is ideal for threading your yarn through. It's big enough to hold a sweater-sized project. $40, vinyl & vinyl-coated cotton.

A smaller Chic-a bag, the blossom bag expands to hold a scarf or sock project, and closes with a magnet. We love this little thing! $28.50.

More Wacky Woolies from Ireland. Sheep with great personality! A shoulder bag, pencil bag (perfect for crochet hooks), or a notebook. $9.70 - $22.

A complete set of crochet hooks from HiyaHiya - 17 hooks between 2mm (A/B) and 15mm (P/Q), with a silk case. $55.

Trendsetter Grace and Luna, perfect knit-along yarn to add some sparkle to any project.

Trendsetter Merino 6, our basic superwash DK merino that is also pre-shrunk. I did this fingerless glove in one evening! The pattern is called Verdure, and the pair takes just a little over one skein.

We've started getting Ultra Alpaca Light, the 50% wool/50% alpaca blend from Berroco that is such a delight to work with. We will continue to add to our color selection in the next few weeks, so keep looking for more yarn!

On the way - Dream in Color Posh Sport, and Everlasting DK (should be here in 2-3 weeks.) Also remember that we're always happy to order any color we don't have on the shelf!

Jennifer has been busy knitting this lace wrap, and I think you'll agree it was worth the effort.

The pattern is called Pebbly Mesh Lace Wrap. She used two skeins of Nico, a single-ply wool and nylon blend with shimmery metallic throughout. It's very soft, and the lace pattern is perfect to highlight the sumptuousness of the yarn.

At $9.10 per skein, this is a very economical knit. The finished size is 18" x 80". The pattern is available in the shop for $5.

Our newest arrival for fall is Merino and Silk, an aran weight yarn that is 70% merino wool and 30% silk. It's also single-ply, and is 120 yds/50g. (That's great yardage!) It's $10 a ball.

It comes in a range of saturated jewel tones we think are just beautiful. We have a cowl pattern that you can do with one or two skeins.
